Sittin' in the mornin' sun I'll be sittin' when the evening comes

Watching the ships are rolling

Then I'll watch them roll away again

Oh, sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away.

Sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time.

I left my home

in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay.

I had nothing to live for

Looks like nothing's gonna come my way, oh

Sitting on the dock of the bay, watching the tide.

Roll away.

Oh.

Sitting on the dock of the bay.

Wasting time.

Looks like nothing's gonna change Everything

still remains the same.

I can't do what ten people tell me to do.

So I guess I'll remain the same Sitting here, resting my bones

This loneliness won't leave me alone

Two thousand miles I roam Just to make this dark my home

Oh, sitting on the dock of the bay

Watching the tide roll away.

Sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time.

Ha, ha.
